Spring/Summer
Sessions
The
Spring Masters sessions will start on Mon May 9th.
Details and prices are below, on the Masters web site: http://carletonmasters.tripod.com, and on the Carleton Athletics web site: http://www.carleton.ca/athletics.
Registration starts Mon Apr 18th for
both May-June and July-August. Note that
we have separated registration for May/June and July/August this year so that
you can more easily join Masters for just May/June, just July/August, or
switch groups between May-June and July-August. You will be able to register on-line for the programs, but memberships
must be purchased through the Athletics office, now on the main floor, next to
the new Tuck Shop (520-4480 8:30am-4:30pm M-F). Please make an effort
to register before the next session starts to guarantee your
spot and to ensure that the coaches have up to date class lists. (The
office is open even during the pool/facility
shutdown.)

Thu Apr 21st End of Session Dinner /
Program Evaluation Focus Group
Jim Lee (7:30am Earlybirds) is taking a
Program Evaluation course as part of his Doctorate in Divinity. His chosen
topic for evaluation is our Masters Swimming Program, in particular: workout
schedule, goal setting, stroke improvement, and facilities. He is putting
together a web questionnaire that everyone will be invited to complete, likely
in the May/June time frame. First, however, he needs to meet with a group
of swimmers to better determine the exact questions to be asked. As we
normally have a good sized group going out for dinner after the last Whitecaps
workout of the session, Jim is going to join us and ask questions over dinner on
Thu Apr 21st. Swimmers from all groups are invited to
attend. Meet by the new Tuck Shop (Control Centre) at 7:45pm Thu
Apr 21st to decide on a restaurant. If any Nightcaps swimmers
wish to join us, let me know and I'll ensure you are notified as to the
location. Your cooperation in helping Jim meet his course requirements,
and in providing your input as to how we can improve the Masters programs is
greatly appreciated!
Early Bird Triathlon at Carleton
U
The annual Early Bird Triathlon is hosted by Somersault at
